  • Patent number: 10889026
    Abstract: A molding process (100) comprising the step of inserting an uncured blank (102) in a mold cavity (14) formed in a mold system, the uncured blank including fiber and uncured binder, transferring heat from the mold system to a cool pressurized gas (108) to establish a hot pressurized gas, injecting the hot pressurized gas into the mold cavity (110), and transferring heat (112) from the hot pressurized gas to the uncured blank to cause the uncured binder to cure and establish a cured product (114).

  • Patent number: 10663279
    Abstract: Metal film thickness can be determined using the sheet resistance, resistivity, and temperature coefficient of resistivity for the metal film. Variation in film thickness measurements caused by resistivity can be reduced or eliminated. A probe head may be used for some of the measurements of the metal film. The probe head can include a temperature sensor used during sheet resistance measurements. A wafer on a chuck is heated, such as using the chuck or the probe head, for the measurements.

  • Patent number: 10578476
    Abstract: A three dimensional (3D) printing system includes an ink cartridge providing ink to a printhead and a controller. The ink cartridge also includes a flag material and a sensor component. The ink has a low dielectric constant and defines an upper surface having a vertical position defining an ink level. The flag material has a high dielectric constant and is disposed upon the upper surface of the ink. The sensor component includes a vertical arrangement of electrodes proximate to the ink. The controller is coupled to the sensor electrodes and is configured to: (1) scan sensor electrodes to determine a capacitance between adjacent pairs of electrodes, (2) identify at least one pair of electrodes having a peak capacitance value relative to capacitance values of remaining pairs of electrodes, and (3) estimate the ink level based upon the identification.
